Monday July 7th. The Reading & Northern SD-40 had a seven chime Nathan "P" series on her. I spent most of the day chasing her. A sound you're not likely to hear on any diesel these days. Ed K. HORNS INC.
Yes this is my horn, the R&N was nice enough to let me mount it on the 3055 for the day. Its a basic Nathan P-5 with a "0" bell added, and a "5" bell which has been shortened. The chord for those musically inclined A, C#, E, F#, A, C#, E. Ed K.
LOL Ed, you let them borrow your signature horn!? Send 3055 down here, I want to hear it! I love the R&N guys, the most character on any railroad, true greatness.
When my dad was younger, he and his brothers wanted to mount a locomotive horn underneath the hood of their car and blow it behind a tanker truck at a rr crossing. Probably good that they never did but funny none the less
That's great that a big railroad let you mount the horn a a engine, it sounds great! The openning shot is awsome, and I love the R&N switcher on a road train.
You are one lucky person there Ed... I wish I could get myself a train horn some time... Not to go around and scare people either. Could you email me the best raw footage so I can make it useable by MSTS? All credit will be given if I release it.
I will say, the P7 is one of the best train horns I've ever heard.
ikr x3
Makes me wonder why they aren’t an actual horn in production.
I have to agree
Same

When five chimes aren't enough. ;)
No its seven
You got that right.😂
Sounds like a P5a, M5, and RS5t combined
actually that would sound terrible
@@ArturoRailProductions lol
I bet the ole time ex-railroaders love hearing your horns come through there!!! Beautiful sound. Great Job!!!!!!
Note also that it was on the train on the 7th day of the 7th month of the year -- a 7-chime train horn! Very nice!
Ed Kaspriske is the foremost authority when it comes to diesel air horns. This horn is all the proof the world needs.
Amazing sound.
Music to my ears
I hate those damn ditch lights - give me a rotating Mars light any day of the week.
One of the best horns ive heard!

Love it, such a beautiful sound.
That sounds beautiful
I remember I heard this horn on RBMN #3055 even today it has a awesome K3LA.
You got a winner Ed! It sounds excellent.
Great sound Ed! I've always liked your P-7

Now this is a horn!
Literally any Nathan p or n is a magical horn.
@golfurguy
I really don't know anymore, I created this one back in 1989.
Ed K.
Beautiful 👌
Awesome horn action and I like that switcher on there as well 5*****
That horn must be brutal on the ears lol! Nice catch!
Interesting. That's a full blown iron horse symphony. Thanks for sharing it!
GREAT-sounding horn Ed. Would love to hear that on one of the SD50's pushing 425 around.
What a beast!!!
It sounds like a M5 with a high note

B O I S E ??????
@@1000tCSX understand this weird word?
that's some first generation m5 or h5 (practically theyre the same since the h family was converted to the m family) with an added 0 bell
Beautiful...
That is a sweet horn!
Sweet horn and very rare indeed!
Awesome horn.
perfect sounding if that SD40 was blowing through at top speed
still epic
ahhhhhhhhhh ok. that explains why it sounds alot like my P-5. :D i love it. i have an RS5T as well.
Certainly gets the point across, doesn't it? Very nice!
wow! amazing
Mais harmônico que o Nathan P5!!!
sounds like a major seventh great
Seems like the switchers have the best horns
time to up a notch to 10
im speechless
@trainman1995 no its a homemade but it is a good horn to terrorize the hell out of the neighbors
RS5T was trashed. And the P7 the king
Nice!
Ryan Seals cool!
Iron Horse :)
If you wonder that "tamás szűcs" account was me on my dad's account
It doesn't, I modified a P-5 Nathan to this 7 chime.
Ed K.
Ed K. Im called ,,Nathan P7LLA,,
That is an awesome horn. Is that the P7 you made?
Neat.
Ugh
Superior!!!
what trumpets does it use
Sounds like a hungary train horn
You are one lucky person there Ed... I wish I could get myself a train horn some time... Not to go around and scare people either. Could you email me the best raw footage so I can make it useable by MSTS? All credit will be given if I release it.
It sounds great! How did you get permission to put that horn on that locomotive?
M5 sounding 7 Chimed Nathan horn P family
Its P7(LLA)
@@jamisintheair6657 oops
What # bells did you add to this custom job?
Ed, can you still order a P-0 from Nathan directly? I remember reading somewhere that you had done so, but that was a good few years ago by now.
New cast or old cast?
I can see why these were banned
What is the tuning?
A below middle C, C#, E, F#, A, C#, E.
Why does the p7 actually have a good horn
and i thought K5LA's had alot of chimes! sounds a tad out of tune however...
wtf lol!!!
M5!
Yep
That sounds creepy.
Why???
